1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: EMC2 unable to withdraw from komodo wallet on: April 26, 2024, 11:25:56 PM
Do you still have access to the seeds of the wallet that contains your EMC2?

Try importing those seeds to a wallet that supports EMC2 like coinomi and see if they coins reflect. Please beware that coinomi also has its own issues. I do see their official wallet though it seems to have not been maintained for a long time and the download page also is insecure - https://www.emc2.foundation/wallets
2  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: [WARNING] Beware of godex.io exchange "SCAM" 58 ETH on: April 26, 2024, 10:18:05 PM
If this is indeed what happened, I wished they would have been honest and told me so.
You could say that again. I understand. I have also come across such incompetent customer support assistants. Some even do not know the language well, and their replies or reactions are never satisfactory.

Instead they told me the tokens are old thus have no value and cannot be refunded. Makes me think they are just keeping the tokens.
Given that it's a lot of money involved, you could try making some noise in different forums where they have a presence and also try to convince them to ask Binance to send back the old tokens.

It's going to be a very hard task, but for 58 ETH, I don't think you have any other choice.

I wouldn't wanna make this look too intrusive but, Bitcoingirl's attitude changed after the major hack recovery
Were you around before and when the hack happened?  Grin

Feels like it was a long time ago. I remember the saga.
4  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: [WARNING] Beware of godex.io exchange "SCAM" 58 ETH on: April 25, 2024, 11:39:10 PM
But is it not possible that we could have old tokens lying around and are not always keeping up-to-date? If I remember correctly, ETH gas fees were sky high then and there was no deadline for swap, so I did not rush to swap. In fact, if they did not want to support, they should not provide price quotes in Trezor Exchange instead of showing quotes and then refusing to swap nor refund them after I sent the tokens? I was accepting a big haircut off market value for the quoted swap precisely because I thought they were old tokens.

If the tokens are indeed without value as they claim, why not send them back instead of keeping them and saying they have no value? They are in fact still swappable via wallet.loomx.io/token-swap , I just swapped a few more yesterday.
Here is the huge problem. Godex might be working with partners for liquidity like Binance, so when you sent the tokens to their address. Of course, they might have tried to send them over to Binance (which probably no longer supports the old tokens) for exchange of which they found out that the tokens were invalid. From what I know, once you send a wrong token to an exchange, getting a refund is almost impossible for security purposes of other people's funds.

If you have some doubts, try to send a few old tokens to Binance and see if they will credit your account. I am very sure you will lose the funds and receive nothing.

I see on my Binance mobile app, LOOMOLD (old loom network) is suspended.

It looks like some scammers are now trying to take advantage of the gap left due to the mixer ban.

What should be done to users who register in the forum to post phishing/fake mixers?
Are they going to be banned or this is a situation where they just get tagged since it's not a real Bitcoin mixer but just a phishing site?

Take an example of this guy ---> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5493906.0 (archive: https://ninjastic.space/topic/5493906)

Solana has nothing to do with Bitcoin. You should move this to Altcoin discussion board.

Welcome to the wild west. It seems you are still new to crypto. Back then there were ERC20 ICO on Ethereum blockchain and lots of scams would actually raise millions of USD. If you can not DYOR on a project you are about to drop your money on, then it's better you completely avoid the whole thing.

99% of those memecoins on solana are scam, and it's actually easy to spot them.

Possible DDoS attack?

They have had a few in the past. I wouldn't be surprised if some loser out there was trying to pull it off again.
8  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Godex Crypto Scam, Don’t Be Tempted by Good Rates! on: April 23, 2024, 10:15:35 PM
Initiated a Swap of 41,641.104 Old LOOM tokens for ETH though Trezor Exchange and accepted the offer by Godex.io for about 1.3 ETH. The Godex address I was provided to send is 0x1a31df52BB0BC938b47652A91d3045e5681eb6aD


You are also part of the problem. The LOOM token swap started about 3 years ago. Why did you ignore swapping your old tokens for all that long?

When a token swap happens, exchanges will obviously upgrade and start supporting the new token will they slowly stop supporting the old tokens. It was your responsibility to first swap the token before sending to Godex.

Quote
After about 12 hours from sending, my exchange order showed Failed status even though my sent tokens were already confirmed. I contacted support and was told old LOOM tokens are deemed "invalid" tokens, even though they are swappable 1:1 for new LOOM tokens.


I can't blame them. They probably no longer support the old tokens.

Try to ask for a refund, but your chances are so thin.

9  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Does your Sig-Camp Manager counts gambling posts that moved to off topic on: April 23, 2024, 09:27:32 PM
Those posts will simply not be counted.

1. By the time the CM counts posts, he won't know if the post was originally posted in off-topic or just moved there. Considering off-topic board is an ignored board, forget about the posts there.

2. Signatures are not displayed in that board. So what's the point of counting posts whose signatures are not displayed. I hope you are aware that you are advertising a brand on your signature and not just making a given post count to get paid.
10  Economy / Reputation / Re: BitcoinGirl.Club: How a condescending attitude equates to trust exclusion on: April 23, 2024, 01:52:05 PM
What really bothers me is how some users thoughtlessly, seemingly without even thinking updated their default trustlist. First openly[1] and then in PM, icopress told everyone [that are in his campaigns, targeting those who are effected by Jambler's ban] to distrust BitcoinGirl.Club and they did.

From what I understand, it seems you are trying to insinuate that icopress PMed members telling them to distrust you following the incident. That's a huge accusation, do you have proof of this?
According to what I understood from his post, he was trying to inform them that they will receive a PM from him informing them that they had been moved to different campaigns, after which they would change signatures.

I saw different members get enrolled in other campaigns without applying. It makes sense the PM was more of an alert to the concerned members that they had been accepted in other campaigns rather than asking them to distrust you. I stand to be corrected.
11  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Decentralized exchanges with lightning network on: April 23, 2024, 01:06:27 PM
Robosats is probably what you are looking for. For some reason, the clearnet seems to take forever to load for me, but you can use their onion site.

Clearnet: https://dex.robosats.com
Tor Mirror: http://robodexarjwtfryec556cjdz3dfa7u47saek6lkftnkgshvgg2kcumqd.onion

Of course, the offers will also depend on which fiat currency you will be dealing with. I usually see very few offers outside USD and EUR.
12  Economy / Exchanges / Re: DHCOINX a fully regulated crypto asset exchange on: April 22, 2024, 11:57:26 PM
Dhcoinx.com is DOWN I tried to ping it using several IP addresses.
Probably getting blocked by your ISP. I was able to access it, but it took a while to load.

All I can say is that whoever decided to use this exchange and gets scammed will have no one else to blame but himself. The figures showing the crypto prices are so deceptive and make it look like crypto are cheap over there, thus arbitrage opportunities. This is probably just a trap to scam people.
13  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: With fees no longer compensating are some miners shuting down? on: April 22, 2024, 11:43:49 PM
Looking at the information I saw posted right now:

Quote
AVERAGE TIME BETWEEN BLOCKS
10 minutes 55 seconds
The values keep changing, though. Some weeks back, even before the halving, the average would be above 10 minutes.

However, I wonder where you got those values from;
mempool.space says ~9.9 minutes
bitaps.com say 9 min 39 seconds

Quote
Last block fee
Subsidy + fees   ‎5.704 BTC $377,445
The current fee is not very far different from what miners were receiving before the halving happened because people are paying high transaction fees

with fees plus reward now being under the previous block reward and time between blocks increasing it is now safe to assume that some miners have/will quit mining?
What will happen to the confirmation if 10% of the mines will quit, blocks for next period being slower, so fees will be higher again, would that trigger a return and then again a shut down?
How long could this game keep going?
If some miners quit, of course the network hash rate will drop, but with the difficulty adjustment happening every 2,016 blocks, this will ensure that the average time between the blocks stays within the 10 minutes range.

If the 10% of the miners quit, that means the remaining miners will have their mining rewards increase a bit since they don't have it shared to the other 10% who quit so long as their pool mines a block. So there is nothing to worry about, the Bitcoin network will just be fine.
14  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Halving Making Me Wonder on: April 22, 2024, 11:11:17 PM
I understand everything you said but what I don't understand is the transaction fee they are now charging, I lost a lot from a single transaction 😭😭
In short, the very high transaction fees right now is due to the congestion of the mempool. So in order to have your transaction get confirmed in the next few blocks, you will have to pay very high fees.

Unfortunately, during the halving. A certain group of individuals decided to introduce a certain pointless protocol known as Runes which is leading to the spamming of the network leading to very high fees for normal transactions
Under normal circumstances, things would have been fine but right now we are faced with that problem of inscriptions (Runes and ordinals)
15  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin For Purchasing Goods and Services Mainstream>? on: April 22, 2024, 10:55:58 PM
The value of it is not high enough to be able to use mainstream for the global market as the money system.
What do you mean by the “Value is not high enough”?
How high should the Bitcoin price go for the value to be high enough?

Is the rally from just cents to $65K within about 14 years a joke to you?

Do you think that if ever there becomes more adoption, BTC would be and able to be used for mainstream like a global money?
When you look at the white paper, the purpose of Bitcoin is to offer an alternative peer to peer electronic cash system from the existing main stream and centralized cash systems. I don't think most Governments can let a cash system they can not control or can not use to print billions of cash be the “Global money”. We need to be a little realistic on this.

If you love freedom and total control of your funds. Bitcoin will always be there for you.

I also had a similar question sometime back, so this thread[1] might also be worth looking in to for any one looking for further answers. Some members there gave some excellent responses.
1. What is with these Bitcoin blocks?
17  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading campaigns helps level up trading for traders on: April 22, 2024, 09:57:34 PM
Except for maybe just gaining experience, a variety of traders lose out on the rewards that are usually given out to the few. Such competitions mostly favor whales as they have very high trading volumes unlike retail traders with small accounts.

Compared to the prizes top traders win, exchanges often make a lot from trading fees in such competitions. They are just aimed at upping an exchange's revenue.
18  Economy / Reputation / Re: Resurrection of old accounts on: April 22, 2024, 09:19:06 PM
Taking over an old red trusted account and asking for the feedback to be removed is even far worse. The audacity by some people!  Grin
I would never remove such feedback.

Also, just waking up and asking for forgiveness after being inactive for years doesn't help.

I would only give a second chance to a member who made some minor offenses, got red trusted but remained active for some years and changed or showed some change in character.
19  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Is there any easy way? Where to earn $3 dollars per day? or micro earnings? on: April 22, 2024, 09:09:51 PM
Are bounty campaigns in the alternate cryptocurrencies board still a thing? A few years ago almost anyone was allowed to join twitter or telegram campaigns and get micro earnings by doing almost nothing. Yes, these payments were in alts which sometimes never became liquid, but if you joined let's say 10 campaigns and 3-4 alts where successful you already got more than $3 USD in exchange, with little to no effort.
I haven't checked that board in a while but I think most of them are scam or not rewarding at all unless if a bounty is being managed by a reputable CM and they pay in stablecoins or tokens that are already in the market.

>>snip<<
it looks like you are late for the party and bumping this thread may not help you get the answers you want
I was not a cryptopia customer, but it might be possible that the portal for filing the claims might have been such down a long time ago after all the title.

Try reading through this thread so that you may know how the process was. You could also try sending PMs to users who may have also gone through the process of filing for claims.
